Glad I was pointed to this thread.  I am severely addicted to building - well, just Star Wars sets. Not that I buy everything - some sets are just totally unappealing like the Kylo Ren attack one (god I want that mini-fig but the two sets with it aren't worth it to me). I usually end up putting on this:  via Google Music and build away. Altho for the Slave-1 which took a week or so, it was the various soundtracks. Anyways... Just so this post isn't weirder than it already is - any links or pictures of a decent stand, that can angle a bit for ships - well, Poe's X-Wing?

Found a nice DIY stand for Poe's X-Wing - finally! Looks decent - I may go with darker blocks but overall it works - mostly cause it can pivot a bit. I would love to get rid of those blue elastic bands for something either transparent or black/grey though. https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/4ihc7x/my_first_moc_a_stand_for_poes_xwing/ (not my pics)

I think I saw $90 US / $120 CAD for the Vader tie and A-Wing which seems loving ridiculous for two small ships. e:  And why is Sabine and Tarkin in this set?? Just to raise the cost?

Jangbricks review turned me off buying the ATTE from Rebels. But instead pushed me to get the Adv.Tie / A-Wing which I was mad over.  Both ships have some great engineering with hiding the shooters and making the triggers more intuitive. No random kibble hanging out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eHDdSM4qg8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMtdO-B55I4 Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Someone local selling 6082 Fortress for $100 CAD. Good deal?  From what I see it's a little more before shipping comes into play. quote:
I can probably get a little Halberd from BrickLink too.

Not my pic but if you pick up the Deluxe Force Awakens from Best Buy you get a Finn figure and that Star Destroyer is for buying it today. I think I got the last one in my city as all the Best Buys showed nothing when I was completed.

Captain Invictus posted:wow, the promo figure for VIP members is now a classic knight dude that comes with a neat little catalog of all the Castle stuff since 1978, that's awesome for folks who like Castle. Maybe they'll do one for Space next. How long does this go for? I can't really buy any Lego till next week?

Ineptitude posted:Cavegod's ludicrously cool UCS AT-AT is something you could build. The instructions are available somewhere and he has updated it several times to not need super expensive parts. (The first incarnation used parts only available in the first UCS star destroyer so that was like $500 in parts just for those) Based off the auto-parts picker thing it's gonna cost $700+ CAD  But that is amazing. I am sure they will release a new version of it someday - just need to have patience.

Toys R Us in  had 20% off all Star Wars sets under $179 so I picked up Krennics and Hover Tank (the latter to get Chirrut and Baze together, for $30 CAD its nice)!

I got the Mr.Freeze set last night and it was an enjoyable build. But looking at the other sets, i'd like the other villains but then I may be stuck with multiple of Batman and Batgirl... I suppose I can just sell em off but still kinda annoying. First world problems.

I put on soundtracks similar to what I am building. Which is really just Star Wars music... But yesterday I listened to the Batman TAS soundtrack.

I saw the Y-Wing being on backorder online buy my local place had it - woot!  Just seeing it come together is fun - all the greebling from Lego just works so well for this ship. Also was gifted the U-Wing and while looking cool - I feel the underside should be bigger based on what we saw in the movie.

Pyroclastic posted:Holy poo poo, that looks enormous. Looks like 4 stud diameter for the Command/Service modules, 8 studs for the third stage, and 10-12 studs for stages 1 & 2. I'd be shocked if this comes in under $150. Note that what we see there is maybe half the rocket's total height (looks like it's about the top of the 1st/2nd stage interstage). This is the best post.

The snowspeeder won't sell out considering the Slave 1 was still available for a long time. This isn't Nintendo.

Wal-Mart had some half-off build a figures and I snagged the most excellent K2SO for $15 CAD. Pretty "complex" build IMO - I've never done one before - but the end result was amazing. I don't know if i'd get this in any other character - maybe Grevious if I could ever find/pay up for him.
